[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 71061, member: 1991"] Mange IS a skin parasite, a kind of mite from memory. There are several kinds, one can be particularly nasty. I would have thought the vet would have already checked it out, he can take scrapings and look at them under the microscope for the mites, to see if they're there. The two kinds of mange, from memory, are sarcoptic (from the Sarcoptes mite) and demodectic (the nasty one, from Demodex). I think demodectic is much more treatable now than it used to be. Mange is like scabies, for dogs, but because they're hairy creatures it looks a lot worse. By all means ask your vet, but chances are he's already considered it and checked it out. Good to know, though. Marg [/QUOTE]
